PROVOCATOR (2) finished second last time out over 1200m at this track, making it five career minor placings. Has been in the top-three at all three runs at this circuit. Looks ready for that breakthrough win. ETERNAL ACTION (6) resumes from a spell of nine months and is having his first outing under new trainer Juan Bautista Bossio. Finished fifth at this track over 1200m at the opening run last time in work. Key runner fresh from a break. ASTEGIANO (7) hit the frame with a half a length third on turf at this track two starts back. Disappointed last time though, again on the turf, at this track over 1200m when 5 lengths from the winner in fourth. Kevin Banegas stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Expected to measure up. INDIAN PALE (4) finished third last time over 1000m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 3.5 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Nicely placed to fill a top-three spot again.
